Easy As Lying: The Music of Shakespeare’s Globe

  • La Grua Center 32 Water St Stonington, CT (map)

Soloist with Seven Times Salt at the Connecticut Early Music Festival

This spirited musical celebration was conceived in honor of William Shakespeare’s 450th birthday and the splendid music heard at the original Globe theater in London. We present songs the Bard mentions by name, works by his talented musical contemporaries including Thomas Morley, John Dowland, and Robert Johnson, plus excerpts from the plays read aloud in Original Pronunciation. Dance tunes from the Elizabethan and Jacobean courts and a saucy ballad or two round out the festivities!
